Seeing the visitor walking into the hospital out of breath, the twins shouted in surprise: "Dad!"

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other, a little excited. I wonder if Dad has passed the preliminary exam?

One of the two brothers went forward to pick up Liu Ji's baggage, and the other went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks into the main room.

There was still food left, and because Qin Yao didn't have a good appetite today, there was still one bowl left, which was enough for Liu Ji to eat alone.

Liu Ji rushed home all the way, almost going crazy with hunger. He forced a smile at Qin Yao, washed his hands in a hurry, picked up the food handed over by Da Lang and sat down at the table to eat.

Qin Yao waited for him to finish, then asked: "Have the results of the preliminary exam come out?"

Liu Ji took the handkerchief from his daughter Siniang and wiped his mouth, took a deep breath, burped "uh", and then nodded.

So, the mother and son all gathered around him, waiting with bated breath for his results.

Liu Ji asked Qin Yao: "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

As soon as Qin Yao heard this, she had an ominous premonition, "Good news."

Liu Ji smiled and said, "I tried it for the first time."

The mother and son raised their eyebrows in unison, surprised and happy that he could actually pass the preliminary examination.

Qin Yao did not forget that there was bad news. She suppressed her joy and asked tentatively: "What about the bad news?"

Liu Ji lamented, "I need to retake the exam."

Now he only regrets not buying a yellow talisman and putting it on his body before entering the examination room, otherwise he wouldn't be so bad!

The mother and son all asked in confusion: "Retest?"

Liu Ji nodded heavily. It was a long story, so he kept it short.

For the first test, he found someone to help him. The seats and the outstanding students were well arranged. In addition, the invigilation of the first test was not strict. Liu Ji was not surprised at all when he was able to pass at the tail end.

But he never expected that less than an hour after the list came down, because someone reported that someone had cheated in the preliminary test and was dissatisfied with the results on the list, the government would cancel the previous preliminary test results and conduct a retest again.

Students on the list will be re-examined, and the final result will be based on the results of this re-examination.

After Qin Yao heard the cause and effect, she didn't know what expression to use to face Liu Ji, a bastard.

In the end, I could only accept the reality and asked him: "When will the retest be retested?"

Liu Ji said with a grimace, "The day after tomorrow."

At this time, he didn't even have a chance to prepare. It was just a matter of rushing the duck to put it on the shelf.

Qin Yao sighed, then stood up, "Very good, let's thresh the wheat as a family first!"

Liu Ji: "!!!"

Seeing how calm the stepmother was, the four children's ups and downs calmed down inexplicably. The family of six began the hard days of threshing wheat.

Qin Yao brought big stones and crushed them again and again.

The twins of dragon and phoenix are responsible for picking up the crushed wheat straw.

Dalang Erlang is responsible for sweeping the taken off wheat grains into the basket.

Finally, Liu Ji used a sieve to completely separate the wheat grains and grass clippings, and poured them onto the drying mat to dry.

The wheat was harvested by two day laborers in two days, and Qin Yao settled the wages to them, twenty-five cents per acre, for a total of two hundred and fifty cents.

It was two coins and more than two cents. Liu Ji felt a little achy just looking at it, but thinking about the energy saved, after the two day laborers left, he immediately gave Qin Yao a complimentary thumbs up, "Well done, ma'am!"

Liu Ji suddenly came back, and the villagers curiously asked him if he had passed the exam. Wave after wave of people came, and they were all captured by Qin Yao.

Want to hear the results?

Very good, let's help thresh the wheat from the pile first.

Still want to know how to take the preliminary exam?

Okay, I will tell you right away after sifting through these stripped wheat grains.

Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao's sexy operation and immediately entered a mysterious state of smiling without saying a word without her reminding him. He would laugh when others asked him anything, and he would only answer a few paradoxical questions when someone helped him with the work.

Therefore, two days after Liu Ji returned home, no one in the village knew whether he had passed or not.

Even the Liu family's old residence was confused.

However, Old Man Liu has a clear understanding of his son, and he most likely has not passed the exam. Otherwise, with the temperament of the third child, he would definitely make his noise known to the whole town.

Being so low-key now is not his style at all.

But just when Old Man Liu was sure of his guess, Qin Yao and Liu Ji drove their carriage to the county town on the afternoon of the second day after Liu Ji returned home.

Before setting off, he led Da Lang and Erlang to the old house, saying that the wheat at home was still drying, and they were going to the city for a few days. If it rained, they asked the old house to help keep an eye on it.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters still have a day off tomorrow and can enjoy half of the sun, so they only need to take care of the other half.

At the same time, they also handed over the keys to the front door of their home so that they could easily pick up the oxcart and left the work of picking them up from school to them.

When he finally left, Qin Yao handed over an extra half a tael of silver to He as payment for hard work and meal money for the four Dalang brothers and sisters.

It wasn't until the couple drove a carriage out of Liujia Village carrying nineteen improved magical book boxes from the factory shed that everyone in the Liu family's old house realized what they were doing.

Old man Liu caught Da Lang and Er Lang running home and asked, "What are your parents doing in the county town?"

Dalang was not confident in the results of his father's re-examination, and the results were not yet available, so he did not dare to say nonsense, so he only replied: "My mother went to the county town to sell magical book boxes."

Old Man Liu obviously didn't believe it, "How many days will it take to sell the book box?"

"Tell me honestly, did your father fail the first test?"

Dalang showed the tangled expression he had when Liu Jigang arrived home two days ago. He sighed like a young adult, nodded, and shook his head. Everyone in the Liu family's old house was confused.

However, Dalang kept his mouth tight. No matter how many people in the old house pressed him, he refused to mention Liu Ji's re-examination. He only gave an ambiguous explanation, "I will know when my Aunt Yao comes back."

Erlang also echoed: "I'll know when my mother comes back, don't be in a hurry."

Not in a hurry?

How can we not be anxious!

Old man Liu rubbed his eyebrows. How big of a deal is the scientific examination? How come the third family can be so calm? He couldn't figure it out.

The old man waved his hand and had to let his two grandsons go home first.

"Wait!" After thinking about it, he asked Liu Bai to go with him and followed his two grandsons to his house to see the wheat.

Qin Yao's family harvested more than 1,900 kilograms from ten acres of land.

After subtracting 40% of the rent, I still have 1,150 kilograms left.

This is prime farmland, but after being attacked by insects, the yield was directly reduced by 30%.

But compared to the output per mu of most people in the village, this is already an enviable figure.

Old man Liu and his son stayed at Qin Yao's house for half an hour, helping the four brothers and sisters to get all the wheat into the yard and cover it with a drying mat before going back.

After returning home, Old Man Liu stood on the stone slab in front of the door, looking at the gray wheat fields in the village. He only hoped that Qin Yao and his wife, who had entered the city, would bring back good news to dilute the depression in the village.

Before the city gate closed, Qin Yao and his wife drove a carriage to Kaiyang County smoothly.

After paying the health management fee, the carriage drove directly into the city and stopped in front of Shopkeeper Fan's restaurant.
